Wondering what you think
I'm looking at a couple different options for a new bike and wanted to hear a couple opinions from someone besides the sales person.
1. Specialized Tarmac SL2
https://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...193/tarmac.jpg
basically full 105 with fulcrum racing 6 wheels $2600
2. Cannondale Super Six 4
https://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...3/supersix.jpg
Sram Rival components with carbon force crank, Mavic Aksium wheels $2500
3. Jamis Xenith Race
https://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...n193/jamis.jpg
Ultegra drive train with cheaper brakes, Mavic Aksium Wheels $2650
Basically I'm looking for some pros and cons[IMG][/IMG] and maybe other ideas in the price range.

OP,
Ride all three. Buy the one that you like the best. If you can't choose, buy the one from the shop that you like the best.
